Guilty Gear Xrd -Revelator- Adds Kumu Hehyon Character on PS4/PS3

Kadokawa's Weekly Famitsu magazine is announcing on Thursday that the console versions of Arc System Works' Guilty Gear Xrd -Revelator- fighting game will add the new character Kumu Hehyon. This week's magazine issue will devote four pages to providing more details on the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3 versions.

The console versions will arrive in both Japan and North America this spring.

Arc System Works released Guilty Gear Xrd -Revelator- in arcades across Japan on August 25. It adds the characters Johnny, Jack O, and Jam Kuradoberi. In addition, Arc System Works held a character vote in October for which character from the series will appear next. The character Dizzy won the poll.

The game contains a new mode designed for beginners called "Stylish Mode." In this mode, players can execute basic combos, special, and Overdrive moves through repeated presses of a single button. The console versions will offer cross-platform multiplayer play between the PS4 and PS3 versions.

Arc System Works released the original Guilty Gear Xrd -Sign- game in Japanese arcades in February 2014. The company then released the game for the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4 consoles in Japan in December 2014, and publisher Aksys Games released the game in North America later that month. Arc System Works released the game in Europe on June 3.
